Land Protection

farmland conservation The Open Space Program protects land as open space in two primary ways:

Direct Land Acquisition: Wake County purchases parcels of land and conservation easements in targeted conservation areas.
Partnership Grant Program: Wake County awards matching funds to partnering organizations so they can purchase land and conservation easements to further their own open space goals.
